Back about three or four years ago I use to do the hitbodedut every evening after Shabbat service. I didn't even know I was doing it until later when studying about Rebbe Nachman, I would go out to this same secluded wooded spot by my home and sing praise and prayers in my native language. I got so much out of it then, wish I could do the same now.

@NuttyHiker When the 12 tribes were in the land, there was one tribe that specifically sat and learned Torah all day long, and another tribe who supported them. This was the arrangement. You consider that leeching and collecting welfare too? If the Haredim and Hassidim didn't sit and learn Torah, WHO WILL? Certainly not most Israelis, that's for sure. Certainly not most American Jews or European Jews, either, who are mainly secular. The Haredim are keeping Torah alive, unlike the rest.

@NuttyHiker The life was pouring out of his body he barely had a chance to ask him to continue to fight & vanished in front of him. The soldier started crying asking H' to take me instead. Why had he taken this Holy Yid. He started in middle of cries to sing and scream Shema Yisroel!
As you see my friends if people could write off all the Haredim from there will be no country. All the Yids & what they do in the land complements each other. Bless be H" & may he continue to bless us all

The beloved Reb Carlebach in one of his tunes sang about a secular soldier during Yom Kippur War. He had to bear with the crazy soldier that kept on singing Shema Yisroel! He told the singer to please shut up. That hi was getting on his nerves. At what the singer answered you fight Your way and I fight My Way. Later on in the middle of combat he realize he had not hear the singer for a little while. When he turned around he saw his comrade being shot and fatally wounded. Sad he approached him

I wish I could move to Yisrael, be exempt from the IDF, study in yeshiva all day, pray hitbodedut whenever and wherever I wished... all the while collecting welfare and leeching off of society.
Ah, the life of the Hasidic and Haredim. Lashon-hara be damned.

we just need to let Hashem in
What a wonderful man. Many thanks, Rav Lazer.

I love the simplicity of this message.
There is never any problem when we choose to allow our Soul to Commune with Hashem.
It is in these times when we realize who we truly are as Sparks of the Divine.
